Career Readiness, Urban Students, Guidance and Counseling Services

Abstract

Career readiness has become a critical issue in the global era; however, there is still a lack of research that specifically focuses on the context of urban students who face unique social, economic, and educational dynamics compared to students in other regions. This study aims to identify the determining factors of career readiness, evaluate the effectiveness of career guidance services, and examine the role of school counselors (BK teachers) in enhancing the career readiness of urban students. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), analyzing 20 relevant scientific publications using the PRISMA protocol. The results indicate that internal determinants of career readiness include interest, self-efficacy, motivation, discipline, career expectations, and future orientation. External factors encompass internship experiences, industrial work practices, career guidance services, the role of BK teachers, and access to labor market information. The effectiveness of career guidance services lies in preventive and responsive interventions, supported by the role of BK teachers as facilitators who provide access to real-world experiences and strategic networks with industry and educational institutions to strengthen career readiness. This study recommends that BK teachers implement digital media-based modeling techniques in group guidance services. Future research is encouraged to utilize qualitative and quantitative methods to further explore the determinants of career readiness and the effectiveness of career guidance services for urban students.
